You converting it to a camper?"
Basicly yes...tho as there's lotsa silly new rules about doing that I was just wanting to get weight down...as its lost lots more than I've added...I would imagine... Guess I should actually get it weighed at some point...the 17 seats were really heavy so... |

Down plating ( re-plating to a new class) will certainly save you on your mot.
It’ll still potentially be a class 7 - but not the end of the world.
Might be worth a call to the DVSA to get advice? |

If you are converting to a camper as far as I remember( I haven't checked the regs for long time) if the vehicle has a sink and sleeping provision it can go into class 4 normal car class, but one thing you have to remember you may have to hunt around to find an mot station who can take weight/length |

do you hold a licence that allows you to drive vehicles over 3500kg is the first question..
downplaying will save you money on tax, but I would wait until any conversion if being done and then weigh it to be sure |

Apparently tester has to test based on whats presented to them so if it looks and smells like a camper it’s tested as the relevant class, having those various features can get a vehicle reclassified as a camper as long as it’s on the list of vehicle types that can be re-classified.
Few changes as you say, sleeping, cooking, fixed table, campervan like external markings... |
